I made this for Christmas 2013 and the glaze is wonderful! <br/>Here are my suggestions: I used Smucker's "Orchard's Finest" Michigan Red Tart Cherry Preserves, Dole Crushed Pineapple, I didn't have spicy brown mustard so I used Dijon mustard instead and no cloves (not everyone liked them so I left them out). <br/><br/>Make extra "compote" it was a great hit and everyone used extra on the ham or just to eat. If you do the spiral ham and like it warmer than recommended keep basting the ham with the juices. Follow the rest of the directions as stated. I served the ham with King's Hawaiian Dinner Rolls.

This was a HUGE success - so, so easy to do and very pretty to look at. I served it a room temp for Xmas lunch and it was raved about. I used marmalade as I rarely see cherry preserve here. I did not have a spiral ham either - this suits any style of pre cooked ham you purchase - it was wonderful !
